Student Body President Ken Day
. . . Calls Self "Institutional Radical"
Student Body President Ken
Day calls himself "an
institutionalized radical."
A radical, he says, "because
I dream of a University
fundamentally different from
the one we live in."
"I'm institutionalized," he
explains, "because I believe we
can build upon existing
mechanisms to develop a
Student Government and a
University governance to work
for the achievement of our
goals."
The goal, as he sees it, "is a
University that places a greater
premium on total development
of the individual as well as
intellectual development
His ideal university is one in
which students are full
members of the academic
community, it is a university
"in which each individual has
placed upon himself the
responsibility of deciding his
educational goals and a
university which provides
optimum opportunity and
option in fulfilling those
goals."
Day met Friday with about
two dozen student government
leaders to discuss, what he calls
an "Experimental Student
Government which hopes will
be able to bring about the
radical changes students want
Religion Courses Attract
Large Amount Of Students
UNC students are keeping
the Religion department
constantly busy with increasing
demands for courses.
Enrollment totals for
religion courses reached an
all-time high of 1,257 during
the past spring semester. The
yearly total was 2,178.
The department approaches
the study of religion from the
standpoint of both the
humanities and the social
sciences. The student is able to
study religion along with
literature, art, science, politics,
philosophy and similar subjects
as a major factor in the life of
man.
Program of study leading to
the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees are
being proposed for the
Department, which is headed
by Prof. Samuel S. Hill Jr.
Students in graduate school
can choose religion as a minor
field of study. To date,
students have elected to minor
in religion while engaged Jin an
M.A. or Ph.D. programs in such
diverse fields as English,
education, philosophy,
sociology, dramatic art, and
library science.
Students initially pursue
their interest in this field with
a consideration of Biblical
literature, of the role of
religion in American culture, or
of comparative religion.
More advanced courses in
the Religion Department are
available to those who wish to
proceed further with their
interest in a particular aspect
of the study of religion.
Students desiring to major
in religion utilize the more
advanced courses to undertake
a program which will place
emphases upon Biblical studies
or upon the role of religion in

but which will continue

The new "experimental
Student Government" is
similar to the Experimental
College in which students
organize their own courses.
In the "Experimental
Student Government" students
will be encouraged to create
organizations built around
their own interests, whether
that be abolition of closing
hours or butterfly collecting.
Students who are interested
in organizing around an
interest may submit a
description of what kind of
interest group they hope to
form to Student Government.
Student Government will
then print a catalogue,
muchlike the Experimental
College Catalogue, listing the
various opportunities for
involvement open to students.
The catalogue would then be
distributed campus wide.
human culture.
Historically, the
Department's central role has
been the liberal education of
undergraduate students, in line
with its conviction that the
academic study of religion is
one of the major ways in which
students gain understanding of
the life of men and societies.
Students may inquire into
the ways in which the spirit of
man has expressed itself and
grapple with the great human
questions themselves.
One of the principal
purposes of a religion minor is
to furnish future teachers of
sociology, education,
philosophy, and the like, with
a context of study that will
enable them to see the place of
their field of einterest from the
perspective of a Judaic
Christian view of man, history
and society.
The project is designed to
make Student Government
more responsive to student'
needs and to allow more
students the opportunity to
become involved in some kind
of activity.
The project would also
provide a valid educational
experience, according to Day,
by making students identify
their needs and work for those
needs on their own, without
waiting for Student
Government administrators to
do something.
Through the interests
groups students would be able
to put pressure on the
Administration or Student
Government leaders to do
whatever the group thinks
needs to be done.
Day told the Student
Government leaders Friday
that the mechanism offers
great potential for mobilizing
students more behind issues
such as the drive for a visiting
agreement for men's dorms.
Th new project holds "the
seeds' of a fundamentally
different Student Government
than; that which we've been
operating with for the past few
years," Day explains.
While freshmen in the past
have been somewhat wary of
getting involved in a deeply
rooted system of student
government, they now " have
the opportunity to get in on
the ground floor in the
redevelopment of Student
Government," according to
Day.
The five main issues which
willjrobably arise on campus
this year, according to Day, are
a self-limiting hours agreement,
a visiting agreement, the drug
policy, the campus code, and,
"overriding them all," more
active participation by students
in the process of education.
The self-limiting hours
proposal that the Women's
Residence Council presented to
the Administration last year
calls for unlimited hours for
seniors and coeds over 21 who
have parental permission.
The visiting agreement,
which Day endorses, calls for
women to be allowed to be
entertained by men in their
residence college rooms on
certain occasions.
The drug policy, which
permits a Student-Faculty-Administration
Board to try
students who are accused of
using or possessing drugs,
expires the first day of classes.
Student Legislature must either
re-approve the current policy
or negotiate a new one with
the Administration.
The campus code issue will
probably come over whether
the code should be limited to a
certain geographical area and
whether violations of it should
be more concretely defined.
Under more active
participation in process of
education, Day includes the
right of students to design their
own courses, to undertake
independent study, to improve
the Pass-Fail system, and more
options for student in deciding
his curriculum of study.
Day early this fall, will
appoint five assistants to keep
him advised as to what is
happening in five main areas of
campus life.
These are residential college
life, judicial affairs, educational
affairs, fraternity and sorority
matters, graduate student
affairs.
He will also appoint
someone to keep in touch with
the quasi-autonomous
organizations within Student
Government and someone to
handle the flow of information
to campus and the state.
